Dartmoor Full Circle 100
The Dartmoor Full Circle 100 is a continuous non-stop ultramarathon that provides a complete circumnavigation of Dartmoor. The course follows the waymarked Dartmoor Way walking route, making it the only landlocked 100-mile race in South West England.
The route stays on the periphery of both the northern and southern sections of the Moor. Participants travel along ancient tracks, riverside trails, green lanes, and quiet country lanes, passing through various moorland villages and well-known landmarks. The terrain is characterized by typical Dartmoor conditions, including rocky, tussocky, and boggy ground, with a total ascent exceeding 4000m.
To complete the event successfully, participants must visit six indoor checkpoints located in village or church halls. These stations provide hot food, drinks, and medical support from doctors and paramedics. Because the race takes place in late autumn, runners should expect unpredictable weather and a section of the course will be completed at night. The event has a maximum time limit of 34 hours.
This event is for experienced ultra runners only. To be eligible, participants must have finished a minimum 50-mile race within required time limits between specified dates. Runners must be 21 years or older. Competitors are required to carry compulsory kit and use GPS tracking devices for safety and online progress monitoring.
The event headquarters is located at the Pavilion in the Park in Okehampton. Facilities available to participants include: Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
